You Can Call A Waterloo Taxi With An App, And It Works…sort of.

I really should be in bed, but for some reason I’m restless. So I thought I’d write this down. On Friday night, we tried out a new app that’s supposed to be designed to help you call a taxi easier…and…for the most part, it was a success. It’s kind of a neat idea, that’s for …

Dice My Onions, Or I Might Go Snaky!

I was going to write about this on Monday, but my computer had other plans. If I wrote this post on Monday, I would have said that I think I’m winning the battle with Captain Nameless Illness, but I’m not completely sure anymore. At any rate, it’s still robbing me of creativity because when I …

Stop It With the Grabby Grabby!

Something happened to me yesterday that I’ve probably written about in components before, but it all happened to me in one 10-minute interaction yesterday, so I thought I’d write about it. I got off the bus and started to walk. I got to the first intersection, and something seemed a wee bit off about my …

I’ll Double Stuff You In A Hole If You Don’t Shut Up…

Soundtrack time! Bella should be very thankful she lived next to us and not Roger Pelletier. I guess he couldn’t take the dog’s incessant noise, so broke in and tried and failed to strangle the little shih tzu. He soon discovered that Orio had a bite to go along with its bark. Now, as far …

Jian Ghomeshi’s Been Formally Charged

Captain Nameless Illness has messed me up pretty good, but I’m going to manage to put this up, then fall down again. Jian Ghomeshi has been charged, surrendered to police. What timing, drops the lawsuit and now this happens today. The whole time this was simmering away, I was afraid it would just disappear to …

Just Try And Say This Name Without Laughing

Arrested for sexual battery is a man by the name of Phuc Kieu. This guy sounds creepy and gross and scary. I mean, he just ran up to a dude by an ATM, punched him in the mouth, took his money, then dragged him into his car, straddled him and tried to undress him! And …

All Terrain Does Not Include Fresh Concrete

Here’s a messed up one, mostly because I have no idea why this guy did what he did. It says here that Charles Cowart, for no discernable reason, rode an ATV onto a bridge under construction and caused all sorts of mayhem, including throwing cow feed at workers. Hee hee. His name is Cowart and …

Jian Ghomeshi Drops His Lawsuit Against The CBC

It looks like Jian Ghomeshi has dropped his lawsuit against the CBC. It still needs to be formalized in a court order, but from what I’m seeing, it’s as good as done. Oh, and he has to fork over 18 grand in legal fees to the CBC. I’ve gotta say I’m relieved. I felt sick …

To All The People Out There Just Like Bob Here…

This sensitivity training video is pretty awesome. I’d love to know what happens at one point where the woman goes “I’ve got ya,” and then the other woman screams. I get the general message, but I’d love to know if she just got grabbed and heaved onto a bus or some other ridiculous thing. I …
